head stud? on a 6.0 lq9 block are all the holes for the head studs blind tapped or do some of them go into the coolant system? i have 7/16 arp 12 point studs does anyone know what the torque specs are. im using cometic gaskets and have et performance heads.thanks for any help
All of the head bolt holes are blind, but they must be cleaned properly. The factory head bolts have some very stiff thread locker on them.
The head bolt holes are tapped M11 x 2.0 for the large holes and M8 x 1.25 for the small ones.
Use the torque specs provided by ARP. I don't have the torque sequence in front of me, but I'm sure it's been posted here a thousand times. Try a search on head torque.
